Well it was mornin' when I left Alabama  
(D)                              (G) 
It must have been around in Mid July 
                                 (C) 
I got behind a chicken truck from Georgia 
       (D)                                        (G) 
and the feathers was a flyin' like snow out of the sky...(lord) 
                                     (C) 
I couldn't get up the speed enough to pass him 
     (D)                                (G) 
and a funny smell was a gettin' close to me 
                                    (C) 
and somethin' keeps on messin' up my windshield 
       (D)                                (G) 
and the farther I go the harder it gets to see...(lord)

(G) 
Chicken truck chicken truck behind it I'm stuck 
       (C) 
Chicken truck chicken truck it's just my luck  
       (D)                    (G) 
Chicken truck on Highway Sixty-Five 
 
Well the hens are a sqwakin' and the roosters are a crowin' 
      (C) 
He's a slowin' me down when I need to keep goin'  
       (D)                    (G) 
Chicken truck on Highway Sixty-Five

(G)                                     (C) 
Well he slowed down and I finally got around him 
    (D)                              (G) 
On a big long hill just south of Tennesee  
                                      (C) 
He had a box of Colonel Sanders on his dashboard 
      (D)                                             (G) 
He was eatin' fried chicken and a throwin the bones on me...(yeah)
